guys i'm rebuilding my 1996 GT. I want a stock rebuild but i want to port/polish the head and get a header with matching flow characteristics...what else can I do to see any improvements without serious big money parts? forged or stock replacement pistons?? i don't really plan on any big gains so should I just go stock piston replacement? What about cams? Chip? Tuner? Is it worth it to balance and micropolish the crank?
What is the average stock rebuild cost? Guys...thanks! |

Dustin had web cams installed and made some decent power. You know how we get that major dip by 5000 rpm? Yeah well you won't get that dip and will keep making power. Well I don't know about how major that dip is for you at 5k but my 5sfe is horrible.
